Definitions

• This invention relates to new coating compositions and, particularly, to a new binder system for use with highly-filled, particle-bearing coatings wherein it is desired to achieve abrasion resistance without excessive brittleness and loss of flexibility, particularly on repeated creasing.
• U.S. Patents 4,131,717 and 4,425,263 disclose the use of speciality aromatic polyester polymers as binders for use in highly-filled coating systems.
• the former patent relates to magnetic tape; the latter patent relates to silver-filled conductive coatings.
• Another object of the invention is to provide such systems which can be utilized in a wider variety of solvent, particularly those which are less expensive and less volatile.
• a further object of the invention is to provide coating systems as described above having improved ther ⁇ mal properties and processing characteristics.
• Other objects of the invention will be obvious to those skilled in the art on their reading of this inven ⁇ tion.
• a binder system which comprises a careful compounding of (a) high-tensile thermoplastic, speciality aromatic polyesters with (b) vinylidene chloride polymer (VCP), usually a copolymer of vinylidene chloride, e.g. vinyl ⁇ idene chloride/vinyl chloride copolymers known in the art.
• VCP vinylidene chloride polymer
• the VCP properly incorporated into a polyester-bearing composition yields a film-forming composition of improved properties, one which conserves much of the strength, abrasion resistance, and adhesion characteristics of the polyester resin.
• compositions even when the binder is extended such that functional filler particles, e.g. electroconduc- tive particles, of a average diameter of 1 to 15 microns (but often of only 1-2 microns and even smaller) are pre- sent in quantities allowing particle-to-particle contact.
• functional filler particles e.g. electroconduc- tive particles
• the same ability to tolerate very high loadings of very small particles while maintaining good physical pro ⁇ perties is also exhibited in other such heavily loaded systems as paper coatings (clay filler) and magnetic recording coatings (iron oxide and chromium dioxide fillers).
• carbon black can be used in such systems to provide superior smooth coatings which allow low noise electrical contact to be made with the coatings.
• Polymers (a) and (b) must be compounded with special care to achieve the desired homogeneous binder. This homogeneous nature may be identified by the fact that the two polymers, when combined into a solvent mixture, do not exhibit a cloudy appearance but appear to be a single clear solution. While there are a number of dif- ferent solvent combinations which can provide such a solu ⁇ tion, it has been found suitable to dissolve the polyester in isophorone or cyclohexanone.
• the VCP polymer when used in a readily-soluble, commercially-available and, hence, preferred acrylonitrile-copolymer form) is con- veniently dissolved in isophorone.
• the two polymers can be conveniently dissolved separately, then stored separately if desired, and finally mixed together just before coating. Indeed there is a substan ⁇ tial advantage in using this segregation procedure whe- never a contaminant-bearing or reactive metal flake product is used as a filler and storage of the coating is contemplated under conditions which are not carefully controlled as to time and temperature.
• the flake in such a case, should be segregated with the polyester solution component to avoid deleterious reactions between the flake-bourne contaminants and the VCP.
• the filler, and whatever other adjuvants are required, may be mixed into the system to form the coating system. Those solvent systems described above are particularly efficient and allow reasonably fast processing.
• the polymers can be effectively dissolved for blending with one another at concentrations of from 10 to 40% by weight.
• concentrations of from 10 to 40% by weight.
• the amount of solvent used in the final composition will usually depend upon the viscosity requirement of a particular coating-application process and the nature and quantity of fillers used in the application.
• the speciality polyesters are advantageously selected from thermoplastic, linear, high-tensile, aromatic- polyester resins such as those commercial products sold by Goodyear Tire and Rubber " Company under the trade designation Vitel.
• thermoplastic, linear, high-tensile, aromatic- polyester resins such as those commercial products sold by Goodyear Tire and Rubber " Company under the trade designation Vitel.
• the more advantageously-used resins are such grade designations as PE-200, PE-100, PE 200-D, PE-222 and VPE-5066A. All -of these materials are said by their supplier to have elongations to break of 10% or less, to have tensile strengths of about 5000 psi or higher, and glass transition points of about 100°F or higher. The more preferred materials have glass tran- sition points of. 140°F or higher.
• the vinylidene chloride copolymer is best introduced into the polyester by use of a relatively easily soluble copolymer such as that sold by Dow Chemical Company under the trade designation SARAN F-310.
• SARAN F-310 a relatively easily soluble copolymer
• This particular material comprises acrylonitrile-derived groups.
• the particle-filled coating systems according to the present invention are of utility in the formation of coatings of about 100 microinches (0.0001 inch). With such thin coatings, the excellent adhesion characteristics of the coatings are very important. However, the improved properties relating to crease resistance and flexibility become more critical as the coating thickness is increased above 300 microinches.
• the coating formulation of the invention have excellent high temperature characteristics.
• the polyvinylidene chloride copolymer imparts not only superior film-forming characteristics but also an improved high-temperature performance.
• the most advantageous binder systems are those which have at least the 100°F transition temperature and 3000 psi tensile.
• Example 1 The following materials are thoroughly mixed:
• Isophorone solvent 8 The polyester is dissolved in the isophorone, then the flake is dispersed into the resulting solution. Thereupon a solution is formed as follows: Material Parts by weight
• polyester and PCC bearing solution mixtures are com ⁇ bined and contain 64% by weight of silver metal.
• the coating was tested using a 0.04-inch wide by 2-inch long patterns coated through a 200-mesh screen 5-mil thick film of a flexible biaxially-oriented polyester film sold under the tradename MYLAR (EL type) by the Dupont company. After drying in an oven at 100°C for 30 minutes, the electrical resistance of the film was measured at 1.95 to 2.35 ohms between the ends of the 2-inch long strip. The dried coating thickness was 0.0004 to 0.0005 inches.
• the coatings exhibited excellent bonding to the polyester substrate, excellent crease resistance, excellent hardness and wear resistance: Particularly noteworthy was the combination of properties, especially the combination of hardness and crease resistance. The heat aging of the mixture containing the silver flake, both polymers and isophorone left much to be desired.
• Example 2 When the metal flake was omitted from the formulation of Example 1, the heat aging of the solution containing the two polymers for 15 hours at 80°C had no appreciable effect upon the viscosity of the resultant composition. -r -
• Example 3 When the polyester-bearing mix of Example 1, i.e. Vitel PE-200, isophorone and silver, was heated for 15 hours at 80°C, there was no appreciable effect on visco- sity. Also, when 19.5 parts by weight of this same mix ⁇ ture was mixed with three parts by weight the polyvinylidene chloride copolymer mixture of Example 1, a good viscosity grade ink achieved similar to the unaged mixture of Example 1.
• Example 4
• a mixture was prepared from the following components: Material Parts by weight

• Example 6 A composition was prepared comprising 64% by weight of Metz No. 7 silver in a binder solution which itself was all specialty polyester vehicle, i.e. 25 weight % solu ⁇ tion of Vitel PE-200.
• the electrical resistance of the screened and dried coatings after they are dried measured at 3 to 4 ohms per 2-inch length.
• the combination of phy ⁇ sical properties i.e. thermal resistance, crease resistance, and abrasion resistance
• Example 7 A composition was prepared comprising 64% by weight of Metz No. 7 silver in a binder solution which itself was all specialty polyester vehicle, i.e. 25 weight % solu ⁇ tion of Vitel PE-200.
• the electrical resistance of the screened and dried coatings after they are dried measured at 3 to 4 ohms per 2-inch length.
• a coating composition which contained 60% by weight of silver flake in a 25% solids binder solution.
• the binder solution contained 50:50 blend of the specialty polyester and polyvinylidene chloride copolymer.
• Example 7 When Example 7 was repeated, but increasing the silver content to 68.8 weight % silver in the ink, the resistivity was measured at 2.0 to 2.35 ohms.
• Example 9 The following composition was prepared and dispersed with the aid of a mill.
• Example 10 The following carbon-black bearing mixture was prepared and dispersed with a mill:
• Vulcan XC72R is a furnace carbon black sold by Cabot Corporation. It is used in the non-pelleted form. Twenty parts by weight of the mixture was further mixed with 6 parts by weight of polyvinylidene chloride copo ⁇ lymer solution bearing one part of the copolymer and two parts of isophorone. When applied through a 240-mesh screen to the polyester film described above and dried at 100°C for 30 minutes, the coatings exhibited a resistivity of 1188 ohms per square. Adhesion to the substrate, hardness and crease resistance were all excellent. Examples 11-14
